	Attached you will find the candle flame I used in last year's halloween
competition, the cockroach in the mirror. They were the only lights in
the scene and no mirror. 

	The shape is "teardrop" which is fairly close. The two colored light
will imitate the coloring of the flame so it works close in. That they
are jittered area lights means they will give the proper color shadows
with ill-defined edges. 

	I cheated in creating this by actually buying a candle and studying the
flame and shadow plus throwing in some physics, i.e., hot inside so an
IOR less than one.
